Responses of infinite periodic structures to moving or stationary harmonic loads
نویسنده
چکیده
Formulae are derived for the computation of the response of periodically supported structures subject to a moving or stationary harmonic load. They are expressed in terms of an integral over the wavenumber in the longitudinal direction. The structures may be described using either a multiple-beam model, or more generally, a two-and-half-dimensional finite-element model. The supports, described by a receptance matrix, may have arbitrary degrees of freedom, either translational or rotational. Equations for free vibration propagation constants are yielded straightforwardly. Results are produced for a conventional ballasted track, showing the effects of the load speed and the modelling of the supports. r 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Dynamic Stability Analysis of a Beam Excited by a Sequence of Moving Mass Particles
In this paper, the dynamic stability analysis of a simply supported beam carrying a sequence of moving masses is investigated. Many applications such as motion of vehicles or trains on bridges, cranes transporting loads along their span, fluid transfer pipe systems and the barrel of different weapons can be represented as a flexible beam carrying moving masses. The periodical traverse of masses...
متن کاملSize-Dependent Forced Vibration Analysis of Three Nonlocal Strain Gradient Beam Models with Surface Effects Subjected to Moving Harmonic Loads
The forced vibration behaviors are examined for nonlocal strain gradient nanobeams with surface effects subjected to a moving harmonic load travelling with a constant velocity in terms of three beam models namely, the Euler-Bernoulli, Timoshenko and modified Timoshenko beam models. The modification for nonlocal strain gradient Timoshenko nanobeams is exerted to the constitutive equations by exc...
متن کاملResponse Spectra of Structures under Subway Induced Vibrations
Passing underground trains induce vibrations transmitted to the ground surface and the nearby structures. Ordinarily, these vibrations do not result in structural damage but can harm nonstructural elements and disturb the occupants. These effects are more pronounced when evaluating buildings like hospitals, laboratories, museums, etc., and their assessment is an important design need. To respon...
متن کاملDesign and Production of a Pneumatic Moving Exciter for Determination of Vibration Behavior of Structures in Variable Frequencies
Determination and analysis of vibration behavior of structures for at least first few natural frequencies and mode shapes needs several sensors to be connected at different non node points and exciting the structure at one point. Other method for determination of first few mode shapes is to excite several points of the structure at once and sensing the response from one point. Both methods nee...
متن کاملDynamic responses of poroelastic beams with attached mass-spring systems and time-dependent, non-ideal supports subjected to moving loads: An analytical approach
The present study is the first to analyze the dynamic response of a poroelastic beam subjected to a moving force. Moreover, the influences of attached mass-spring systems and non-ideal supports (with local movements in the supporting points or base due to the presence of factors such as gaps, unbalanced masses, and friction or seismic excitations) on the responses were investigated. Non-ideal s...
